How do I close the MBP case and NOT put it to sleep?

Is there a way to close the MBP case without it going to sleep? I like to allow items to download, etc while I close the case and leave the desk but it always goes to sleep.
Also, when it does go to sleep do I just push the power button? Sometimes this works, but it seems to respond slow.
Thanks

Yes, I do believe that's what I implied.
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and enter the following command line at the prompt then press RETURN:
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
If the reported mode is 3 then your computer is set for "Save Sleep" which takes longer to wake up than standard sleep. If you want quicker wake up from sleep you can change the sleep mode by entering the following command line:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
This disables Safe Sleep but will also slightly decrease battery life as RAM is left powered on.

    I have an iTunes account with a $25.00 credit but everytime I go to purchase a song, it goes to my credit card details. How do I use the iTunes credit and not the credit card?

    Just to confirm, you are logged into the iTunes Store using the account in which the balance exists, and the balance is showing at the top of the iTunes Store window? And you're not trying to purchase gifts for someone else?

  • I accidentally created an identical email acct, how to I delete the newer one and not the old one?

    entally created an identical email acct, how to I delete the newer one and not the old one? And I'm receiving e's just from the new one.

    Move the "e's" (email messages?) to the old account first. You can drag and drop.
    To remove an account in Thunderbird:
    '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|<select the unwanted account>|'''
    Down at the bottom of the left-hand pane, '''Account Actions''' then '''Remove Account'''.
    Are both accounts using POP? That could explain why new messages appear in the new account but not the old.
    It could help to post your Thunderbird settings data: '''Help|Troubleshooting Information'''. Clear the "Include account names" checkbox. Click on "Copy text to clipboard", then paste (ctrl+v) into your next posting here.

  • How do you close the stock chart but not the stock widget ?

    I have clicked on a stock and get the stock chart but now I don't want the chart, just the stock price widget.
    The prices were originally there without the chart and that's the way I would like it.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hi, Thanks for the quick reply !
    No, sorry to say, cycling through those 3 dots does not close the chart.
    If I have to, I guess I can delete and then reinstall the widget.
    Seems like there must be a way to close the chart only....

  • My new Firefox ver 29 always starts maximized how do i set the window size and not maximized?

    I had reinstall my Windows 7 (win 7 pro 64bit)
    so i had to reinstall firefox as well, installed ver 27 and updated it to version 29
    now when i start firefox it will start maximized and i want to set the window size when it starts,
    why the size of the window will not change and it will start maximized all the time?

    # In Firefox, type ''about:support'' into the address bar and press Enter.
    # Click the Show Folder button. A Windows Explorer window opens.
    # Right-click the Firefox taskbar icon and choose either Close All Windows or Close Window.
    # In the Windows Explorer window that opened earlier, delete the ''localstore.rdf'' file.
    # If you have Firefox pinned to the taskbar, right-click the taskbar icon, then right-click the Firefox icon in the menu that pops up and choose Properties.
    #* If you have a desktop shortcut, simply right-click it and choose Properties.
    # Click the Shortcut tab in the Properties window.
    # Make sure Run is set to "Normal window".

  • HT201209 I just redeemed my gift card.  50.00 is now in my apple account...when I go to download a song it wants me to verify my billing info. How do I redeem the gift card and not having the price go on my credit card??

    I just redeemed my gift card....my apple acct says I have 50.00.  When I go to download a song it goes right to my billing info.  Wants me to verify my credit card info but no where to redeem my gift card.  How do I do this??

    I took this straight from the help menu.
    You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
    Hide 
    Use an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or iTunes Gift Card
      If you aren’t already signed in to the iTunes Store, choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In at the top of the iTunes Store window. 
      Below Quick Links, click Redeem, and follow the onscreen instructions.
    The amount in your account appears to the left of your account name. When you click the Buy button to make purchases, the amount changes to show how much money remains in your account.
    You can use a gift certificate only in the iTunes Store for the same country in which the certificate was purchased.

  • I purchased a new computer and want to import music from other computers and sources to my hard drive, how do I import the actual songs and not the links?

    I purchased a new computer. I would like to import all of my music from my other computers and external hard drives. I want to only import the physical songs not "Links". Also not duplicates. How do I do this?

    Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the Copy... option is ticked. This will ensure any files you drag to the library get copied into your library's media folder.
    If the same content appears at more than one location, or you add it more than once, then iTunes will create dupes. There isn't really any way to avoid that, but I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove them. See this thread for background.

  • How do I upload my contacts, calendar and notes from outlook 2007 to my new iPad with retina display

    I just cleaned up my outlook 2007 contact files.
    I have an iPhone 5, a new iPad with retina display, and a PC, which is where the outlook program is.
    I also have an iCloud account
    How do I get the contacts, calendar and notes from outlook to any of these devices, so I can have one synced contact file on all three devices?
    I'm sure I am not the first one asking about this but I am new to Apple, and loving it.

    With your device connected and iTunes open, navigate to the 'info' tab and scroll down. You'll see the option to sync contacts and such from outlook.

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.
    System Preferences can also be found in the Hard drive -> Applications folder.
    Resetting the PRAM can help bring displays back to factory settings if you can't find what you need:

  • I have a MBP 15" with iPhoto 9. When right clicking on icon in dock 3 iPhoto libraries come up; one empty, one with 35,000 photos and one with 30,000 photos.  How can I delete the empty one and merge the other two without getting duplicates?

    You can delete the empty one by dragging it to the trash ( test everything before emptying the trash)
    Merging libraries requires iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  it is the only current solution to merging libraries

  • How can i open the directory/​folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it?

    How can i open the directory/folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it? any example would be nice.
    thanks

    In the File I/O>>Advanced File Functions Palette is a function named "List directory". This function will give you two arrays. One contains the names of all subdirectories the other the names of all files. If you want to sort them by name use the array sort function. If you want to sort them by another attribute use the File/Directory Info function to get more data. Use a cluster which contains the attribut to sort and the original index of the name. Then sort this array.
